We had our yearly swap meet in Toowoomba on the weekend. This is like a holy pilgrimage for me. There are 1800 stalls to visit, so a lot of walking, but always a good day.





Always looking for interesting radios.


Press for the workshop. $50


Engine analyser, works. $40


Picture tube restorer. $5


20MHz 2 trace cro, works. $20






Love a good swap meet or clearing sale.
The best time to plant a tree was twenty years ago, the second best time is right now.

Nice finds there, Gizmo!  

The brilliant tractor-seat is still a good seat then and now.





My one is a reproduction, but the seat style has to go down in history as one of the best designs ever.  I mean - no padding at all - the thing is made out of STEEL - but it it actually really comfortable to sit in.

All those holes got me wondering, are they for letting the hot air escape?

Toowoomba swap meet, been to that one a few times and never got all the way round the lot, just too big, been to a lot of swap meets in the past always fun.
Have a few of those old seats, still have the old tractor attached to them.
